The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

well were all used to winning from last season. and like i think justins been put under alot of pressure becuase were not used to losing and beenin mid table. people have got to relise that last year was a one off and i think are play off chances are lookin slim, the teams nowere near good enuff. its not settled. people keep comin in and out. and people are playin in different posistions.

im sure wil have abit more cash when gc and that get there business running. so hopefully next year wil be back up there. until then. the best we can look for is probs a top 8 finish

I agree with Pigman. We're not shit we just lacked a bit of cutting edge up front. I thought the midfield looked alright. Millsy had a great game and passed the ball about well, the Power got amongst them and scored a spectacular goal. Admittedly Max Porter had a quiet game but we all know on his day he's quality. I think we looked more threatening in the first half though and the service to Az wasn't great in the second half. Tamworth scored because of a goalkeeping error but let's remember how young Joe is and that he has the makings of a very good keeper. I bet after today he will be putting in extra work on crosses in training.

We have such a small budget we can't expect to be up there challenging year after year. We have the right manager at the club we are just on a bad run. It happens. I just don't like all the negativity. We had the best player in the league last year and I believe that is the difference between us then and now. Tommo would have torn Tamworth apart today and we would have won comfortably. He's gone now though and that's football. I'm sure we will go on a run as the team gels towards the end of the season. I'm not saying playoffs but I think we will be in the top 8 and that is a good shout for a very young team at a club with such a limited budget.

Four words: In Justin We Trust.

I challenge somebody to disagree with this, VERY well said.
